Two great gritstone pinnacles rear up out of the moor near Birchover, known also as Mock Beggar’s Hall because from a distance the rocks resemble the gables and chimneys of a house. Climbers work the tors, and the ground around is scattered with prehistoric standing stones and old packhorse ways. It’s open access, reached on foot from the lane below.
